John Glasgow

Biography
John Glasgow represents an unidentified younger namesake implied by the
description of John Glasgow as "John Glasgow, senior" in
published extracts of the Larne and Kilwaughter congregational records. Classon Porter, "Congregational Memoirs: Larne and Kilwaughter,"
The Christian Unitarian 3 (1864), extracts from the congregational records;
Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/christianunitari0003unse). 

The word "senior" distinguishes an older John from a younger contemporary. It
does not state that the younger man was his son. John Glasgow
is therefore attached as an uncertain working father, not a proved parent.

John's birth about 1680 is an estimate. No record has been found giving his
age, birthplace, wife, children or death.
Research Notes
Possible identities
A John Glasgow of Killroot appears in a 1733 Connor probate index. PRONI
Name Search (https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx), pre-1858 wills and administrations index, John Glasgow,
Killroot, 1733. Individual result links are session-bound; the exact event and
survival status remain to be checked. He is the strongest record-defined
candidate for the younger namesake, but the index does not identify his father
or establish that he was the man represented by this profile.

John Glasgow of Ballyboggy is another candidate. A 1740 return
records `Joh Glask` in the Ballyboggy locality, and a three-life lease from the
same year names John Glasgow and James Wier as joint lessees of one-third of
Ballyboggy. W. MacAfee,
1740
County Antrim Protestant Householders' Return (https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740protestantreturnsantrim.pdf), Dunaghy entries; PRONI
`D2223/15/56`, Ballyboggy title-deed bundle. No record connects that John
to the older Kilwaughter man.

John Glasgow is associated with a separate traditional County
Tyrone family reconstruction. Similar name and estimated age do not establish
that the profiles are duplicates.
Family and descendants
No wife, child or descendant has been identified. The word "senior" supports
only the existence of a younger namesake. The relationship could have been
father and son, but could also have been uncle and nephew, cousins or unrelated
men distinguished by age.

The decisive records are the complete Larne and Kilwaughter session material
at PRONI `MIC1B/6A/1B`, the full 1733 Killroot probate-index entry and any
surviving grant or bond, and the three named lives in the 1740 Ballyboggy lease.
